[School-of-data] School of Data Tutorial Sprint

[Rufus Pollock]

Just to add/clarify: some *help is
needed<https://github.com/okfn/datawrangling/wiki/Tutorial-Sprint>converting
*the initial* School of Data Tutorials from Google Docs to Restructured
Text format <http://sphinx-doc.org/rest.html>.*

No *specific skills are needed* and each tutorial is *reasonably short* and
you'll have the chance to *proof the first of our first tutorials (and get
recorded for posterity!)*

All you need to do is:

   - Open the relevant google doc (noted in each github
issue<https://github.com/okfn/datawrangling/issues?labels=Tutorial+Sprint&page=1&state=open>
   )
   - Copy it into the text editor of your choice (Word or Google Docs is
   fine too!)
   - Mark up the content as restructured text (an existing example of raw
   restructured
text<https://raw.github.com/okfn/datawrangling/master/text/recipes/liberating-html-tables.rst>)
   and then just email it to schoolofdata [at] okfn [dot] org (or if you know
   your git / github you can fork the
repository<https://github.com/okfn/datawrangling>,
   add it and send a pull request<https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo>
   )

There are *only 8
tutorials<https://github.com/okfn/datawrangling/issues?labels=Tutorial+Sprint&page=1&state=open>
* [1] that we need to do and if we get volunteers for each one we can be
done in the next couple of days :-)

To avoid duplication please add a comment to the relevant github issue [1]
or email michael directly at michael [dot] bauer [at] okfn [dot] org.
